Asian Migrations and Diasporas History and Memory Map
User’s Guide
Welcome to the Asian Migrations Map !
If you don’t know what this is about, you can have a look here : Asian Migrations Map
This tool has been created in order to share exhaustive information about the Asian communities around the world, their stories, histories, memories and family narratives. The map aims for a different approach on both artistic and scientific productions. We believe that geography gives a more concrete feeling of either past places and present activities and groups. We also encourage audio narratives and testimonies to embody, as much as possible, this shared heritage.
The main language for the project is English as the more inclusive language today, but we also encourage contributions from any other language (in that case with a transcription).
This is a work in progress, some design changes can be made. Please do not hesitate to give feedback.
